New pop trivia game show for SABC2

Launching on Friday, 29 August 2008 at 9.30pm, is SABC2's new trivia game show Where Were You?, which will test our knowledge of South African pop culture. Do you remember when Joe ‘S'dumo' Mafela made S'Gudi S'Nice a household catchphrase? Or Telly Fun Quizz, Wielie Walie and Nommer Asseblief? Or do you remember when Selimathunzi took over from Ngom'qibelo ka Mokibelo?

For over 30 years, South Africans have been watching local television, and in 30 years a host of icons have appeared including the good, the bad, and the ugly of big names in television, music, sport and fashion - these household heroes, names and faces are the stars of Where Were You?

Together with 32 years of nostalgia, Where Were You? combines a riotous panel of clued-up South African media personalities, a conversant and quick-witted host and scores of unexpected special guests, all of whom will add their own brand of hilarity and flavor to the show's trivia answers.

First we welcome as our host and ring master, the popular quick-thinking, funny, articulate and knowledgeable, Fezile Mpela; an actor and television presenter known for his role as Sello in the SABC2 soapie 7de Laan. Next we throw in contestant panelists: radio and television personality Amanda Forrow, sports journalist and TV and radio presenter Kwena Moabelo, comedian Mell Millar, film and TV actress Moshidi Motshegwa, TV presenter Dosto Noge, actress Hanli Rolfes and comedian Darren Maule.

Joining our regular panelists each week on Where Were You? is a mystery guest, who include the likes of former television newsreaders, continuity presenters, popular radio DJs, actors, musical greats and sporting heroes. Mystery guests become part of the hilarious panel for the evening to find out how much we all know about the history of South African popular culture.
